Patterson HR, Padamsee M, Schwendenmann L. 2022. Assessing the Effect of Phosphite Treatment on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Kauri (Agathis australis). New Zealand Ecological Society Conference. University of Otago, Dunedin. 28 Nov - 2 Dec 2022.
ABSTRACT
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inhabit the roots of kauri and aid in nutrient uptake, water retention and possibly pathogen resistance. The effect of phosphite treatment on AMF inhabiting kauri roots is unclear. This research aims to: 1. Trial and optimise the measurement of AMF colonisation in kauri roots. 2. Confirm the presence of, and measure, AMF colonisation in selected phosphite-treated trees. 3. Investigate the relationship between soil properties and AMF species diversity and colonisation at each site.
